Escort guests to their tables and ensure they are comfortable, informed, and attended to before handing off to the service team.

Communicate clearly and proactively with servers, management, and the floor team to coordinate seating, pacing, and special accommodations.

Anticipate and accommodate guest needs—including special occasions, accessibility requirements, and dining preferences—with grace and discretion.

Manage the host stand with precision, maintaining an organized and presentable entry experience at all times.

Handle guest inquiries, phone calls, and reservation requests with professionalism and attention to detail.

Monitor dining room flow throughout service, alerting management to any pacing issues or guest concerns.

Provide a warm and memorable farewell to every departing guest, reinforcing the Opus experience.

Assist with opening and closing duties, including menu organization, reservation preparation, and host stand setup.

Qualifications & Experience

1–2 years of experience in a host, receptionist, or guest-facing role; upscale or fine dining experience strongly preferred.

Familiarity with reservation management platforms such as Resy or OpenTable.

Proven ability to remain calm, composed, and solutions-oriented in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment.

Excellent verbal communication and interpersonal skills with a natural ability to connect with a wide range of guests.

Genuine passion for hospitality and creating memorable experiences for others.

Required Skills & Attributes

Poised, polished, and professional demeanor in all guest-facing interactions.

Collaborative team player who communicates proactively and supports the full FOH operation.

Ability to remain composed and gracious under pressure, particularly during high-volume service.

Physical stamina to stand for extended periods throughout a full service shift.

Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays.
